Sinfonia Amazônica, or Amazon Symphony, was Brazil's first animated feature-length film, produced entirely by Anélio Latini Filho over five years and finished in 1951. Like Disney's Fantasia, it tells several folk stories over orchestral music. The Brazilian television show Animania broadcast several clips of the film. It is currently in the process of restoration.

Le film est un pot-pourri lyrique de légendes indiennes du nord de l'Amazonie, évoquant l'arrivée des animaux dans la forêt ou la formation du fleuve Amazone. On y trouve des personnages traditionnels, tels que Cobra Grande, Jaci, Boto, Jabu, Curupira ou Iara. La faune et la flore y sont représentées sous forme de personnages anthropomorphes.
